ok im starting off with a svcd but im not sure if it will play ni my dvd player but anyways what is the process wat template and programs etc do i have to go through to get this svcd fitting on 1 cd and playing perfectly in my dvd player. Before i encoded a sample of a movie in mpeg-1 vcd without the non-standard and it did'nt skipp or fastforward like it would usually do but the outcome everytim is a 1gb file.please help me wat am i doing wrong and hwo cna i fix these problems. thanks.get back asap.

Only about 35 minutes of a standard svcd can fit on a 700mb disc. For about 60 minutes of mpeg2 quality use the skvcd template. The amount you can fit on a cd also depends on if its widescreen or fullscreen. For DVD2svcd, Kwag has not yet made a template for skvcd or other templates beside the lbr template. You will have to load the skvcd and other templates manually into tmpengc.

LadyMiles,
Look at the DVD2SVCD section for kwags comments. You can do high res with a little tweaking.

I agree yoda, hi res is possible, but i think the quality might not be the same as the orginal templates

LadyMiles,
I've encoded 3 movies so far with that technique and using 2 CDs. The quality is great The only problem I've noticed is that when burning with VCDEasy it wants to add padding. So I have to demux/remux with TMPGenc to fix it. Be sure to check the GOP and set to Kwags spec before using FitCD parameters.
